You need to explain how you see the "whole system" exposed in the UI. Suppose we call it "Foo", what will the "Foo" link lead to? It has to be a document. With our current capabilities it can only be a document on the main wiki, so the main wiki _represents_ the whole system. It's not the whole system, it's just the entry point (Home) for the whole system. Same as the root node of a tree represents/defines the tree even if it's just a node in the tree like the rest and not the entire tree. To summarize, I think we can have Home in the UI and System in Java.
